Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of exponents

$(a^m)^{n}$ = $a^{mn}$

$(2)^{3x}$ = $2^{3x}$ and 8 = (2³ )² = $2^{6}$ , so

$2^{3x}$ = $2^{6}$

Since the bases on both sides are equal, both 2, equate the exponents

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2

There are 24 children in a class, 16 brown-haired and 8 black-haired. Two students are randomly selected for a stage performance

Natali5045456 [20]

The answer is 7/69.

There are 8 black-haired children among 24 children. The probability of randomly selecting black haired children for the first time is:
P1 = 8/24 = 1/3

Now, there are 7 black-haired children left among 23 children. The probability of randomly selecting black haired children for the second time is:
P2 = 7/23

Since we want both of these events to occur together, we will multiply their probabilities:
P = P1 * P2 = 1/3 * 7/23 = 7/69
